I am finally processing all that happened to me this week, but I'm not quite ready to write about it. Too much trauma. I'm on the mend, but definitely spooked, and grateful for my life and the people in it.
Scary.
Scary.

May. 14th, 2010 11:53 pmI had an appointment at Northwestern today for a CT scan related to my kidney stones. I get my results on Tuesday, from that and other tests I've done. I'll have to let the doctor know surgery is not an option, since I retain fluids so fast that they won't be able to do anything before I need to be transported to ICU. (That's what happened before.)
After my appointment, I headed to work to pick up some money, but got sidetracked by a little old lady who asked me to help her cross the street. I ended up walking her down several blocks to get to the correct bus she needed to get home. As we walked, we got to talking. Her name was Rosalind, she is an art collector who has lent her collection of ancient Chinese pieces to the Honolulu Museum for a few months. She was super sweet, kept apologizing for keeping me, which she wasn't at all. She wants us to have a lunch party. Seriously, how cute is that?
It's amazing who you'll meet when you stop to help someone in need. Thanks, karma, I needed that one.
